Not sure I agree for small sites. I like Drupal better, and I can do things fast in Drupal, I can simplify Drupal for the client, and I want to believe you. But I still recommend WP for small clients because, 1. Many clients are cannot do their own Drupal core updates; 2. With WP I feel safer letting clients run updates on a live site: running a test site does involve a little extra time and cost. 3. Major version upgrades are beyond most clients in Drupal. 4. Once people start with Drupal they want lots of extras, there is something about Drupal which does that to people, and they start asking for features outside their budget. 5. Drupal has far more problems than WP on shared hosting; I run fast Drupal hosting for a few clients but cannot do it at anything like the price of small shared hosting packages. 6. On WP I have been using a framework where you can do everything imaginable via GUI (really!), and the markup is pretty clean, so once there is a design in hand, any design you like without regard to WP limitations, I can theme it surprisingly fast.
